Description

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS (e.g., Windows 10):
  • Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3):

Describe the bug:

I have been using the extention and trying to create a drop down list
but it was not working. I had an empty list place holder with an arrow but nothing will open or show options
Using the real edge browser the list opened as it should
Repro steps:

<input type="text" list="Suggestions" multiple />
<datalist id="Suggestions">
  <option>option 1</option>
  <option>option 2</option>
  <option>option 3</option>
</datalist>

Expected behavior:

display a drop down list with values inside. not just a input field with an arrow but nothing opens up and no search capabilities.

Additional context:
